Some time ago I had taken a walk on the streets of Paris with a tour guide and just 3 weeks ago, I took another one but this time the location was our own Ahmedabad and I participated in the heritage walk. During the walk I realized how there is a vast difference between the cultures and how each one has got something substantial in it.
While one culture talks about freedom, love, partying etc. there is other society which focusses on human relationships, worshiping gods, trating all living beings equally etc.
I won't say that there is anything wrong with any one of them but what I felt was that may be we are slowly moving from our strong and Orthodox societal frameworks and beginning to experiment more and I don't need to mention this that while doing so, we are taking a leaf out of the western societies books. However this phenomenon is not one sided, the western societies have also understood the importance of our values and morals and have started to adopt some of them.
From the above discussions it is very much clear that more sooner than never we will finally see our cultures combining together in order to pave way for a more stronger framework which will then be implemented by the generations that are going to follow us.
I think that all of this is going to happen for good and that we should not hellbent on protectionism and let the experimentation begin for a better future.
Some pictures that will help you to understand the differences. Some of them are from outside Pantheon in Paris and the rest are from Ahmedabad old-city.
